One of the major things limiting Responsive Web Design for IE is the lack of support for advanced background properties. Most notably: background-size.

If background-size was available in CSS3Pie, holy cow would that be a game changer. Scalable, flexible, adaptable websites would all be possible! What do you think?

Re: Please support background-size!

I believe VML supports sizing of background image fills so this *shouldn't* be too difficult. My plate's pretty full at the moment but if someone from the community wanted to step forward to work on it that would be great!

Re: Please support background-size!

I also would really like to have this feature.

I've been hunting for a solution that provides IE6 - IE8 the ability to support the following:background-size: 10em 10em;

This would allow one to have dynamic sizing control over background images.

Between -vendor-background-size and filter (IE6-8), one can provide cover support to almost any current browser. I believe the breakdown below is correct.

All examples that have the / between the location and size fail to display any background properties. I think this is a browser support issue. According to this post on Stack Overflow, current browsers don't support this technique.

I tested the following browsers with the same issue:[*]Firefox 8[*]Firefox 7[*]Firefox 6[*]Firefox 5[*]IE 8[*]Chrome 15[*]Safari 5.1

True, that testcase doc should probably be updated to separate out background-size as a separate longhand property for those browsers that don't support the slash-notation in the shorthand yet. But that isn't a PIE problem, right?

You had IE8 in your list but it works fine in IE8 for me.

(OK I've updated the testcase doc and it now works in other browsers too. If you find any more feel free to submit a fix.)
